    Anyway, I’d rather have such keyboard in landscape. Although it would be better if it was a slide-out keyboard, I wouldn’t mind a thick phone. Maybe you could then even add USB-A, HDMI, and a headphone jack to it.

        @Norgur@kbin.social hehe.

        A stylus holder too, an extra battery of course, too to handle the extra load.

        No phone has been better than the n900. But a case that had the keys and extra power and maybe a secondary status screen on the back, and didn’t look like a bananna themed children’s toy. Could be nice.

        You can’t put a laptop in your pocket. I used to have a Windows Mobile PDA as a phone that was definitely thick enough for an HDMI port. Plus, modern phones can already do display out over their USB C jack so if you can find the space, I bet it would work just fine.

        PDA would probably be a better term, but good luck selling something by that name.

      You can make it a little thicker and have USB-B so you can connect printers directly. Or a little thicker yet and keep a bicycle in there.
